Rent & eviction protection

Is 32-36 Pleasant St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1908
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The 5-story multi-family residential building at 32-36 Pleasant Street in Nob Hill, owned by the Irene C Faustino Living Trust, was constructed in 1908 and contains three units. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring in 2012-2013 including the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system (sprinklers, alarms, and monitoring) costing over $34,000, complete kitchen and bathroom remodels in one unit valued at $36,554, and installation of new plumbing features throughout. The property underwent extensive work in 2012 related to a vertical addition project, including temporary shoring/hand dug piers ($8,000), though this period saw multiple complaints regarding unpermitted excavation work and construction noise.

More recent events include a 2023 complaint about unauthorized antenna installations on the roof, and a 2016 complaint regarding an unpermitted roof deck, which was reportedly disapproved by the Planning Commission despite previous vertical expansion approvals. The building's infrastructure was notably upgraded in 2012-2013 with a complete fire safety overhaul including installation of new fire sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems, and associated electrical and plumbing work. While there have been multiple construction-related complaints over the years, most have been resolved promptly, and all major building permits from 2012-2013 have been marked as complete. The property experienced some construction-related noise complaints in 2012-2013, with one complaint in 2013 noting early morning work noise.

Risk rating

How 32-36 Pleasant St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
37thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 709 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
